Will they get the job done

[Exfarmer]

you will never leave

Sadly, I think we will leave 31/01/ 2020. Being English I will be there if Boris delivers

You are having a laugh ? Have you not seen the results in the north and people admitting they had voted Tory for the first time and how there parents would turn in their graves ?

Not having a laugh at all, merely disagreeing with your point that John Curtiss says all labour votes should be considered votes for remain, a point you seem to agree with.
Quite honestly such a presumption is nothing short of ludicrous,
Yes I do realise that the tories have picked up support this time from people who have never voted Tory before in the back of a promise to get Brexit done but I don’t for one minute believe that everyone who voted labour backed remain which is what you seem to be saying, infact I know it’s not true and I’m quite happy to call anyone who presumes it is an idiot.

Sooner the better, and no deal might be the best deal

I don't feel smug at all and the result is a surprise to me. I think most of us are fed up with the political circus and just want brexit sorted so the economy can get moving forward.

I did not want a hard left government whose political thinking belongs in 1950.

This nonsense should have been dealt with over 2 years ago and I blame all politicians of all stripes for what has gone on. It is time to take off the kid gloves and negotiate a trade deal with the EU. That is straight forward. If they don't recognise the results and the will of the British people then we should leave roots and all.

the whole point of bexit was to stall the economy for the average man . the economy for the top 10% has been doing very well

 

[graham99]

If that is what the people of those regions want then so be it. I woud not want an independent South West UK as our local government are hopeless.

you wouldn't be human . if you had a govt that worked

Interesting times for farming ahead - Will committed free marketeers continue to subsidise agriculture?

I doubt it.

if the subs go ,the banks go , it is the high value of property on the banks books , that make them look solvent

Dream on!

I think the most interesting aspect of all this will be how the Tory party governs once the dust has settled a bit on Brexit. They are in power because of a huge swing from Labour and many of those voters will have held their nose and thought of Brexit as they marked their ballot paper.

What can he offer these northern voters after Brexit is delivered? I noted that he used the phrase 'one nation Tory' to describe his government about three times this morning in his brief victory speech. Is a swing towards the centre on the cards?

For what, please don't tell me she doesn't trust the new vote FFS...

?

 

[FonterraFarmer]

I've been looking for some sort of reaction from Brussels but there appears to be something of a silence from that quarter.

Quietly shitting themselves? Or has it dawned on them that Brexit will proceed and it's back to negotiations and trade under WTO rules and not EU rules?
Either way, adapt and move on.

She will never give up

I'm hanging on to the positive here that Boris's significant majority at least means he can tell the ERG to fudge off and moderate any Brexit demands.

Nice to hear a positive there Widget...

Agriculture as we know it will be finished in England and Wales.It will just take 2 or 3 years for it to become apparent.

Cannot help but hope you are wrong, but....

Looking at anything but agriculture as an income source will be the way forward for many farms.

As a remainer I totally agree, and as a remainer I never believed, Corbyn was one. I would have preferred a second referendum , but cannot argue that Boris's nearly sole point was "get Brexit done".

What was wrong with the 1st referendum? I think most of us understood the question.

 

[icanshootwell]

his policies became more desperate as the day neared. And, yes, some of these policies sounded great, the question is, how would he fund them ? Once he had used up available money, borrowed up to the hilt, the only money left would be increased taxes. And as farmers are usually asset rich, but cash poor, and are not popular with the vegan/veggie/ rebellion extinction, we could have been an easy target !

Inheritance tax and right to buy was at least 2 he had ear marked for Labours fund raising bonanza.

 

[glasshouse]

What about a trial separation where the SNP and Scotland gets to run their own affairs for a couple of years including raising and spending the budget without tbe benefit of tbe subsidy from tbe rest of the UK that is the Barnett formula. Then after that period have a referendum. My money would be that having seen taxation go through the roof the canny Scots might prefer to stay put.

A new thread perhaps?

Yawn

 

[glasshouse]

What's it got written on its side?

MUGS!!!

I give up with this place. The whinge factor has reached epic proportions. If it's not subsidies, it's Brexit. If it's not that, it's tariffs. If it's not that, it's something else.

What's the point? Every passing day this place strikes me as some kind of drawn out wide-ranging suicide pact.
